Palestinians Force Their Way Into Egypt
Hundreds of Palestinians broke through Egyptian and Palestinian Authority lines on the Gaza border Friday, pouring into Egypt in defiance of government attempts to secure the frontier. It was the second afternoon in a row that the crowd was able to overwhelm the measures imposed in the morning to restore order on the Gaza-Egypt border, the Palestinians' only outlet to the world that avoids Israel.

The surge started when Palestinians waiting to cross pelted their own security forces with stones at the Saladin gate, the main informal crossing on the border, in this border town. When the Palestinian security officials gave way, the crowd pushed through the iron gateway and tackled the Egyptian police.
"1..2..3..4, we don't want to wait no more! 5..6..7..8, open up the f**king gate!"
Policemen tried to beat the crowd back with sticks, but they were overwhelmed, and hundreds of Palestinians entered Egypt.
Wait, I thought they wanted to be in Gaza?
Earlier Friday, Israel said the failure to control the flow of arms and people across the frontier had severely undermined the credibility of the Palestinian Authority.
They had credibility before?

'They look like they're running a system which has neither law nor order, neither organization nor authority,' Amos Gilad of the Defense Ministry's diplomatic department told Israel Army Radio.
